3D VIewer App - Virtual Machine Builder and Solidworks

[Yacine]

Hello, 

To use 3D Viewer App visualization, we need to generate the CADs from Virtual Machine Builder.  for customer who uses Standard CAD Softwares like Solidoworks or Catia, is there any Bridge, converter or a way to link these softwares to Virtual Machine Builder?

Thanks.

Hello Yacine, the Virtual Machine Builder is necessary to define the kinematics structure of the machine/robot and to connect this structure with geometries. For the geometries the STL format is required, which can be exported by the majority of existing CAD systems. A direct connection between CAD systems and the VMB is not possible. If you want to discuss more details about this topic, please write me a PN.

It looks like there is STL export in Solidworks: see.
